Expert Reviews

From the CompareCards.com Editorial Team

The Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card is a really exceptional piece of plastic for those who want to earn some fast and flexible travel rewards.

Not only that, but you can redeem miles for virtually any kind of travel related expense and there are no limitations on how many miles you can rack up and your accumulated miles won't expire for the life of the account. You can earn a one-time bonus of 50,000 miles once you spend $3,000 on purchases within 3 months from account opening, equal to $500 in travel. And for those who travel overseas there are no pesky foreign transaction fees.

This card is for people with excellent/good credit, and the annual fee is $0 intro for first year; $95 after that. The standard APR falls into the reasonable range of 14.24% - 24.24% (Variable), depending on your credit worthiness.

The Good

Your miles won't expire for the life of the account, there's no cap on how many miles you can earn, and you can redeem them for all sorts of travel products and services such as flights, hotels, and car rentals.

The Not so Good

Your credit has to be excellent/good and there is an annual fee after the first year of membership.

The Bottom Line

The Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card is a really good travel rewards card for the frequent traveler. You can earn tons of miles and use them in many different ways with no expiration dates or hidden fees.

I found Capital One easy to reach and work with. Great customer service that is really helpful!

Thank you. Your comment has been submitted and is pending editorial review.

I have this card and the miles rack up fast. Used it in Europe and Asia no problem. If suspicious transactions are made, you are notified immediately. You can redeem miles in several ways. Only thing I don't like is the amount for annual fee.

It's a good card, don't get me wrong. I've had this card for 3 years or so and I have used the miles earned to travel to see my family in Florida every year. I pay off the balance every month so I don't pay attention to interest at all. Bummer is with my excellent credit, using about $5000/mo on this card, paying it off every month... there are ZERO additional bonuses after the first initial one. ZERO, ZIP, NADA. I feel like I should get additional rewards and bonuses considering I've spent nearly $250,000 with them. I'm currently looking for another card that rewards great customers like me.

Curious if you have compared this to an airline specific card. I’m wondering if the $100 in waived checked bag fees between my husband and my self is worth switching. Our airline card is 2x miles on airline purchases and 1x in everything Else. This card is 2x on everything. Thoughts?

Great Card, Amazing Customer Service, Great Rewards!!!!

Thank you. Your comment has been submitted and is pending editorial review.

This card works for cheaper, within the US travel. Or if you never fly business class. But for comfortable overseas travel it's cumbersome.The model works like this...you price the flight you want on the open market, and add two zeros to the end to get the amount of mileage points required for the "free" travel.

I have this card for several years now. Love it. I think I redeemed roughly 6k from travel over the years. Excellent fraud protection too. They FedEx a replacement card for me overnight. I just wish they bring back the old reward program where you can earn points from checking/saving accounts and able to combine points from other capital one accounts

Thank you. Your comment has been submitted and is pending editorial review.

I have 5 accounts with Capital One, I also have other cards, Bank of America, Chase, City, plus some bank cards. I do a lot of business with my cards. I find most rewarding when I use Capital One, above all the others. Very happy with the rewards and with the attentions paid by their staff.
